A
White spaces are formatted depending where they are located:
- White spaces will be ignored between block elements.
- White spaces will be preserved in <PRE> tags.
- White spaces will be collapsed into a single white space unit in a non-empty block element.
- White spaces will be ignored in an empty block element.
The following tutorial exercise shows you some good white space examples in a HTML and CSS document:
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
DIV.page {width: 425px; border: 1px solid black}
P {margin: 0px}
PRE {margin: 0px}
P#p1 {background-color: #ffdddd}
P#p2 {background-color: #ddffdd}
P#p3 {background-color: #ddddff}
P#p4 {background-color: #ffffdd}
P#p5 {background-color: #ddffff}
PRE#p6 {background-color: #ffddff}
</style>
</head><body><div class="page">
